A cute little Sandpiper, they are nearly always seen running! This one slowed down for a few moments for me to get a photo of it. :)
Whoot! Yesterday I got my first Virginia Rail, sort of. Back in 2016 I saw a dead one in perfect condition, so it was my lifer. This is a much better experience. These birds are rarely seen, very hard to get a photo. I had to delete over 50 attempts & only kept 3. This was the best of the 3. It was in the open for a split second & was running back into the cover of the rushes. We only see them during migration.

Can you show more self-confidence than this little warbler does? Between wagging his tail and plucking insects from the railing he had a beautiful moment to pose for my photo.
Lots of dragonflies, grasshoppers and tiny fish to fuel a migrating youngster. Fun sighting, here one morning, gone the next.

Monarch butterfly migration through Oklahoma City, September 28, 2018. The monarchs had spent the day feeding on butterfly bushes, native sunflowers, and other flowers that they could find.
An early southward migrant gives the photographer the stink-eye for disrupting an early morning rest.
With this shot I could tell it was a male monarch but not sure what was wrong with that wing yet. It did not seem to be slowing it down any. It was hungry and feeding off the nectar.

Late September in the garden, as Fall migration (hummingbirds heading south for the winter) is underway. Ruby-throated hummingbird samples blue salvia bush; in background is garden spider.
She got very close. She was actually closer than this, but I wouldn't have been able to focus - too close.
A first time visitor to the backyard, this juvenile Cooper's Hawk was quite the sight as it swept into the yard today, scattering all the songbirds and sparrows.

I yelled back in the rain: Great!!!:) This is a dark-morph Short-tailed Hawk to be precise. We also get the White/light morph type down here as well.
Short-tailed hawks breed in the tropical and subtropical Americas from southeastern Brazil and northern Argentina north through Central America to the mountains of the Mexico-Arizona border area, as well as in southern Florida, United States. This species is generally found below 4,500 ft (1,400 m) ASL and most common below 2,500 ft (760 m).

From Ohio's fall songbird trip last September. This Hooded Warbler was skulking around a tangle of grape vines and poison ivy. Both plants contributed a wonderful mix of fall color.

Another very early morning visitor to the mud flats as Graham Creek empties into the Ottawa River. Like some other shorebirds, as I have discovered, these (quite tiny) ducks are voracious early morning feeders. This bird ate non-stop, and the only reason I was able to get close enough to it was the relentless pursuit of nutrition. At the same time, this more of a behaviour/habitat image than a pretty one. But it was my first experience being near these birds, and I was pleased to find a tiny piece of blue plumage make it into the image.
Juvenile Black-throated Green Warbler, one of a small mixed flock. They were all so busy was tough to get a good look.
Miquelon Lake Provincial Park, AB, Canada
August 28, 2011
These were from my first visit to the park in late August this year. The number of shorebirds has gone down since then, but you can still find the Black-bellied Plovers, and the Godwits, and lots of Yellowlegs.
Fall doesn't just mean the autumn colors in Colorado, it can also host a number of birds as they go through their fall migratory journeys. You just never know what you're going to find.
Every few days we take a break from unloading boxes and building things around the house and get outdoors to explore the area. We stopped at a nearby lake to see what might have started migrating through the area. One of the birds we found was this short-billed dowitcher, which was hanging out with a semipalmated sandpiper, who was also making its migration. While most of the birds foraging around the lake didn't cooperate as nicely, this dowitcher was a willing participant in a morning's photo shoot, as Tom took off onto the mountain biking trails.
It was a fabulous morning by the lake ... the sun was shining, there was a nice breeze, cool temperatures, and the scenery was gorgeous.... even got to see some eagles. I was so in the happy zone until ... a snake almost slithered over my hiking shoe and into the bushes. Yikes! I don't care much for snakes and despite his brightly colored skin, I never saw the encounter coming. LOL (laughing now at least)
Heading out for bigger wildlife today ... hopefully of the 4-legged kind. There's always something to explore. Can't wait to see what we find.
Thanks for stopping by! Thanks also to Michael Libbe for confirming for me my tentative ID on this bird. :-)

Its hummingbird fall migration time. This handsome guy stopped by my yard to get some nectar for his journey. I was having to shoot thru my window. I could not get a decent shot until he took a little break in my crepe myrtles. When he turned his head just right I was able to get that red throat.
